<p>WP Github Gist WordPress Plugin, provides the ability to embed gist and files from Github in your blog posts or pages. Even though Github doesn’t provide a way to embed files, this Plugin still works by using the gist-it service.</p>
<h3>Features</h3>
<h4>Embed Gist</h4>
<p>To embed a gist you have to use the following shortcode</p>
<pre><code>[gist id = "{GIST_ID}" file = "{GIST_FILE}" width = "{WIDTH}" height = "{HEIGHT}"]
</code></pre>
<p>The following are the different attributes that you can use in the shortcode</p>
<ul>
<li><code>id</code> – Id of your gist.</li>
<li><code>file</code> – File inside gist that you want to display. If there is only one file in the gist, then you can ignore this.</li>
<li><code>width</code> – Width of the code wrapper. Default is <code>100%</code>.</li>
<li><code>height</code> – Height of the code wrapper. Default is <code>100%</code>.</li>
</ul>
<p>eg: <code>[gist id = "12345" file = "myfile" width = "100%" height = "100%"]</code></p>
<h4>Embed Github files</h4>
<p>To embed a github file you have to use the following shortcode</p>
<pre><code>[github file = "{GITHUB_FILE}" start_line = "{START_LINE}" end_line = "{END_LINE}"]
</code></pre>
<ul>
<li><code>{GITHUB_FILE}</code> – full path to your github file. eg: If you want to embed https://github.com/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp then <code>{GITHUB_FILE}</code> would be /sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp</li>
<li><code>{START_LINE}</code> – If you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the starting line number (optional)</li>
<li><code>{END_LINE}</code> – If you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the ending line number (optional)</li>
</ul>
<p>eg: <code>[github file = "/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp"]</code></p>
<p>if you want to embed only part of the file, then you can specify the start and end line as well</p>
<pre><code>[github file = "/sudar/MissileLauncher/blob/master/MissileLauncher.cpp" start_line = "10" end_line = "20"]
</code></pre>
<h3>Changing Gist-it server</h3>
<p>By default, this Plugin uses my own <a href="http://gist-it.sudarmuthu.com" rel="nofollow ugc">gist-it server</a> which is hosted on a free Google App Engine account. If you expect significant amount of traffic to your blog, then do consider using your own gist-it server. You can follow the <a href="http://sudarmuthu.com/wordpress/wp-github-gist/changing-gist-it-server" rel="nofollow ugc">instructions to deploy your own gist-it server</a> and then go to the settings page to change the url.</p>
<h3>Translation</h3>
<p>The pot file is available with the Plugin. If you are willing to do translation for the Plugin, use the pot file to create the .po files for your language and let me know. I will add it to the Plugin after giving credit to you.</p>
<h3>Support</h3>

WP Github Gist

Unfortunately, this plugin does not seem to be working. If a solution is found, I'll bump my rating up to where it should be, as the basic idea is great.



Not working

Embed files and gist from Github in your blog posts or pages.

<p>Instead of embedding a <a href="http://gist.github.com" rel="nofollow ugc">GitHub Gist</a> (a <a href="http://pastie.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">pastie</a> like service on steroids) by copying and pasting HTML you can simple embed it with a [gist] shortcode.</p>
<p>For example, to embed the <a href="http://gist.github.com/30948" rel="nofollow ugc">gist: 30948</a> enter this in a post or page:</p>
<pre><code>[gist id=30948]
</code></pre>
<p>It is that simple.</p>
<p>One problem with gists is that a search engine spiders (and users with javascript disabled) will not see your code in a blog entry. This plugin allows you to get around this by including text, such as content of the gist inside the shortcode. The text is wrapped inside these tags:</p>
<pre><code><noscript><code class="gist"><pre>
</code></pre>
<p>You would use it like this:</p>
<pre><code>[gist id=30948]
puts hello_world_test;
i = 0
5.times do
    i = i + 1
    puts i
end
[/gist]
</code></pre>
<p>The content inside a gist shortcode is optional.</p>
